>That's interesting that the mice with stressed parents dealt better with stress
It doesn't say they dealt with stress better. They had a blunted stress response, and in humans that might lead to depression, etc.
Presumably there must be an evolutionary reason. If the environment is very stressful, it's perhaps better to have a lower HPA axis response to stress, otherwise you would be at risk of various diseases.
